  1. It’s amazing how balanced Robbie from Blackpool view is yet we still have a small number of fans who have this “sack him” mentality. Utterly ridiculous given his win ratio and league position. We need stability. Unsworth granted got given time without having a decent record previously to back it up, Mellon does so should be afforded time to create his own side in the summer. The constant sacking of managers doesn’t help and only causes more negatives.
  2. Seems to be the ways it’s done up and down the leagues and has been even in the Alan Hardy years at Latics. It’s not just a Latics thing.
  3. On Mansfields forum site they seemed to think it’s Tom Nicholls. The guy on Twitter who said it was a chesterfield fan, clearly on the wind up.
  4. If it is him surely a short term solution and makes Fondop redundant as I’m sure despite Garner being 5”11 was a target man and won loads in the air in years gone by but that may have changed.
  5. You say that but that sort of mentality doesn’t change most of the time by bringing someone new in as manager. It’s instilled in the majority of these players hence why Mellon wants a clear out. Loans have been the majority of Jan business to plug gaps, which suggests the big shift due to players refusing to leave won’t be until the summer.
  6. This has to be one of the worst takes I’ve ever seen. Deary me, you would be unhappy if we ended up top but played crap football? Stop talking rubbish. Ridiculous points.
  7. As I’ve already stated you are not going to win them all. Look how long it’s taken for Chesterfield to find that winning side.
  8. Not yet the right man but what qualifies that? You couldn’t get more qualified at this level. This appointment needs to be a minimum three year agreement. Even a doubt over whether he’s the right man currently is mad. The drama over the last 24 hrs has been ridiculous. The Football can be absolutely woeful for me if it brings success. 30 yrs without any success should make fans realise what’s now important. Not ‘attractive football’. But Winning.
  9. Some massive overreactions on here. Yes the game was poor but let’s not lose sight of where we are in the league. We are now the big fish in this league so every game for us is a cup final for the opposition as everyone steps their game up to play us. When you still have a large amount of the squad part of the original weak mentality under Unsworth it’s hardly surprising we haven’t changed. A few players isn’t going to change that. I’ve seen comment about his style of play from @BP1960 and @deyres42 but let’s be realistic the style of play is irrelevant, win games we get promoted. Kewell played attacking / entertaining football but we ended up 17th. Results are all that matters. Continue on the run of form we’ve been on and we end up right in the play offs. Mickys been there more than enough times (more than we’ve had over and over for 30 years) to know what’s needed to get us out of this league, so back him! Not every game is going to be a win. Thats the nature of the league and squad he’s inherited. Give him the backing without the jibes and let’s have a run of a few seasons with a successful, proven manager.
  10. Not sure how that is your conclusion when the whole game was spent watching long ball bypassing the midfield with aimless punts.
  11. David Noble appointed manager of Wealdstone
  12. Didn’t realise Jordan Lyden is now playing for Hereford in the conference North. It won’t come as a surprise but he is currently out injured….
  13. These have one as well? Thought that was only Gateshead
  14. He’s definitely not going to be the one that makes people stand up but if it was a direct replacement for Fondop I would accept it, but not as our standout signing.
  15. If we are serious about promotion there is no chance we are doing a swap. Granted we have a number of strikers but they aren’t good enough (Willoughby, Nuttall, Fondop for starting games). Quantity doesn’t equate to quality so we I think we will be bringing another in. Especially after losing Stones.
  16. Two managers already rejected the job due to the owner according to Radio Tees. Sounds another mess of a club.
  17. You can blame him for his absolutely abysmal defending when mistiming a jump for a header prior to their first. Woeful defending.
  18. Don’t recall this conversation but I believe from messages I’ve received from the account and others fans where the account has made reference to comments made directly to me and others previously by Barry that I believe it is him. As I believe DiggleBlue is him on here.
  19. Hit double figures in L1 x 2 and L2 x 1 for the last three seasons prior to this season. With us being two leagues down from where he is playing now it would be welcomed for me . Granted not seen anything of him but stats speak for themselves.
  20. He played 37 games last season in the league so played the majority of games. He’s had two different injuries so on the face of it has just been unlucky. If he had the same injury recurring, like Kitching came with but eventually cleared, I’d be concerned.
  21. The suggestion I heard before Stones got injured was for Mellon Jr to go to Wigan and Stones could then remain with us.
  22. Atmosphere is a shambles too. Sounds like a reserve game.
